2nd Paragraph – violates the Equal Protection
Clause
Letter C. Direct and Indirect Discrimination.( too
general) violates the equal protection clause.
To be reasonable, the classification
(a) must be based on substantial distinctions
which make for real differences;
(b) must be germane to the purpose of the
law;
(c) must not be limited to existing conditions
only; and
(d) must apply equally to each member of the
class.
1st paragraph. The classification is unreasonable.
The law serves on to protect those individuals and
communities that are at a greater risk of
experiencing human rights violation on the basis of
SOGIESC.
NOTE: ONLY THOSE WHO ARE AT GREATER RISK
WILL BE PROTECTED? HOW ABOUT THOSE WHO
ARE NOT AT GREATER RISK BUT STILL AT RISK? The
law itself is clearly unconstitutional for violating
the equal protection clause.
2nd Paragraph. The discriminatory practices are so
well encompassing. Too general. It violates also
the equal protection clause. It even violates
Freedom of Religion because it attributes as
discriminatory practice any Religious practice
which under established Laws and jurisprudence
valid practice of religion.
Note.(FOCUS)
Paragraph A violates equal protection clause
Paragraph B. There are already grievance
mechanisms within the CSC to address
discriminatory practices in the Government.
Paragraph C. Our Labor Laws provides already for
Grievance Mechanisms for Discriminatory
Practices within Private Companies.
Too. general. Establish and maintain an
environment free of stigma and distribution
against whom?
What may be positive and empowering portrayal
Diverse in SOGIESC Media. of persons of diverse SOGIESC to counter existing
stereotypes and misconceptions that often lead to
discriminatory practices may not be positive and
empowering towards another. Violates Equal
protection clause.
